Your day at a glance

The best window, 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm, combines the 5:03 pm low tide and a major period, though with moderate wind. Also good from 9:50 pm to 10:30 pm, with the 10:48 pm high tide and a light onshore breeze. Also worth a try from 9:50 am to 11:30 am, with the 10:30 am high tide and moonset, though with moderate wind.

Species with the most records nearby: spot, Florida pompano, striped mullet and southern kingfish. October is one of the months when these are seen most: striped mullet. What you can catch

Stay out of the water: rip currents can pull even strong swimmers out to sea. If one catches you, don't swim against it: swim parallel to the shore and wave for help.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 10:30 am 5.1 ft · coef. 85
  • ▼ Low tide 5:03 pm 0.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 53 min to high tide at 10:48 pm.

Tide coefficient 85 for the 10:30 am high tide and 84 for the 10:48 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.8 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 28 (5.1 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.6 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 85, 4.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 47, 2.7 ft).

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:30 am to 11:20 am, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 3:40 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:01–4:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:32–4:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:55–10:55 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:08–9:08 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
